that's not "bleeding"?
I got a cutting from a friend of her white Bleeding Heart Vine which grew quite nicely, thank you.
Except, when it flowered, it's all white...no red throat.
So what do I call it?

Strange that Annie a albino I do hope you can post a pic of the flower now that would be different.
You know I just cannot imagine it not being red and I am stumped for a name here.
But I am sure someone will come up with one
I have only grown two different types of Clerodendrums but with 400 varieties maybe there is a pure white.
But I have never seen it if there is, gosh you may be famous how wonderful...Cheers..MM. |

My g*d! I never thought of that....being famous, that is.
Well, come to think of it, I'd rather be rich.
Do you think there is money in my "new" vine?
Actually I did think of a name....."Already Bled Vine"? or "Bloodless Heart Vine"
a bit awkward would you say?
I'll post a piccie as soon as 18yr son brings the camera home from the Motor Show. |

| clerodendron thompsoniae - I checked mine out and notice that not every bud produces a red flower at the same time so you get maybe 3 red flowers and the rest just the white bracts. Maybe the flowers are still to appear. |

But the vine it came from, was the more usual white and red.
So I gather the pure white must be the one of the original plants?
and it can revert when you grow a cutting? |

| Maybe your soil needs some iron chelates? |

| Well, I got some piccies but they are not too good. I think my camera may have been dropped once too often. It's not the photographer's.....oh, no, of course not!! When I got really close, I did notice some of them had a soft pink bubble (?) in the middle.

Well Annie, Of course its not the person holding the camera.
That is so interesting thanks for the Piccie. A lovely cool colour.
Have a look at the link below seem they come in a cream as well as a red flower.
Maybe poor Annie will not be famous or rich after all !! never mind...Cheers..MM. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bleeding Heart Vine.

| Well, I rather like the look of it 'cos the leaves are a lovely dark green, the white flowers look really nice against it. |

Have you seen the Clerodendron Nutants I is a great plant. Upright with hanging bunches of flowers.
I have a photo of one on the Photobucket site.
Timbara at Thornlands have them.
